After years of using reddit, i finally deleted everything including my account there. Personally, i am not affected by the api prices, BUT, i couldn’t live with me supporting people, who see their userbase, moderators and creators as nothing but noise. The point i’m making? Greetings Lemmy. I joined a few days ago and i’m here to stay so cheers everyone and, hi

    Don’t forget Reddit is probably one of the best ways to astroturf or push a sentiment.

    I would be curious if they have a back door to corporations to allow them to pay reddit to cover up stories.

      It’s paaaaainfully obvious that that’s all reddit really is anymore… I know some people would disagree, but I think they tested how extreme people could get about the masks and stuff to test the influence of reddit and realized it could be used entirely for thought control.

      I think the best thing for society is to move on from the platform.
